Droom Jumpstart Doorstep Vehicle Service Announced For Bikes, Scooters & Cars

Most vehicles have been parked for over 40 days due to the extended nation-wide lockdown because of the Coronavirus outbreak. The vehicles may refuse to start or move when kept immobile for a long time due to several reasons. These include a dead battery, a leak in the fuel pump, an ignition issue, and flat tires; among others.

As a result, Droom has announced a doorstep service to address these issues and help its customers to tackle vehicle maintenance. The services include jump-starting of vehicles along with tire maintenance, and a thorough inspection of critical functions, engine oil and other fluids and perishables in a vehicle.

Apart from the main Jumpstart and critical maintenance service, users can also avail many more add-on services such as towing, flat tire repair, pressure water cleaning, and full top-up of oil, lubricant, and coolant; among others.

Users can avail the service by visiting the Droom's website or download a smartphone application available for both iOS and Android. Once you choose a platform, users have to select the type of vehicle, mention the location, select the main service, and any add-on services if required. They can choose a time slot as per their convenience and confirm the payment or choose to pay later.

Once the service has been ordered, Droom then assigns an ‘eco-ninja' or technician to carry-out vehicle maintenance. The technician will also issue an ECO jump start report to the respective customer once the servicing process is completed. Users can also ask the technician to perform any of the additional services and add them to their existing package at the time of service as well.

Speaking about the Jumpstart initiative, Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder & CEO, Droom, said, "In the wake of an extended lockdown, anywhere between 5 to 25 million vehicles in India might not start or move. Eco has come a long way from offering any vehicle's inspection anywhere since 2016 to complete vehicle certification, large automobile fleet health and safety to the recent launch of Germ Shield, antimicrobial treatment for automobiles and facilities."

He further added, "We leverage IoT, AI, cloud infrastructure, mapping technologies for field operations to fully mobile technology-driven workflow management for standard service delivery. To serve our customers better, we launched Germ Shield in March and will continue to launch more such unique services in the times to come."

Prices for the Jumpstart service vary depending on the type of vehicle as well. The service cost for a scooter or a bike is priced at Rs 499, while getting a Superbike serviced will cost Rs 699. The service costs for a hatchback, sedan, and SUV are Rs 999, Rs 1299, and Rs 1599, respectively.

Apart from Individual owners, the Jumpstart service is also offered to fleet companies, RWAs, hospitals, logistics providers, private, and public bus owners, hotels that offer commute, garages, and dealerships. Currently, Droom has thousands of eco technicians who provide this service in various cities across India.
